CARPET AND UPHOLSTERY CLEANING PRODUCTS AND SYSTEMS – WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
CLEANING PRODUCTS:
The best cleaning results are achieved by the use of chemicals. Professional carpet and upholstery cleaning companies may use solvents, powders, detergents and other solutions during the cleaning process. Manufacturers in the cleaning industry work to the highest specifications for quality and safety, designing products specifically for the cleaning of carpets and soft furnishings; and for safe use within the domestic environment. If you have asthma or are chemically sensitive, most cleaners will be able to use specialist chemicals designed to avoid causing any discomfort. Many companies also offer environmentally friendly services with specific ‘Green’ cleaning products.
CLEANING METHODS AND SYSTEMS:
There are many different methods and systems for cleaning carpets and upholstery; all are designed to produce good results and each has its place within the industry. Some methods use more water and others more mechanical action. More important, however, is whether the employed technician has the required training to carry out the cleaning properly and safely.
Members of the National Carpet Cleaners Association (NCCA) have a recognised qualification in carpet and upholstery cleaning and have been trained in the use of all cleaning procedures. They will be able to advise on the most appropriate method, or combination of methods, for your situation.
